As gut-wrenching as it is, everyone makes mistakes....big ones.
His conscience will plague him forever. That will be enough.
If he had not cared a lot about the dog, he wouldn't have been taking him out with himself in the car....he'd had left it chained up in a hot yard where the dog could've died, too. Also, since he was looking at rain approaching, it was maybe a cooler day and he underestimated the heat buildup.
Not making excuses.....just pointing out we are all flawed and in need of the benefit of the doubt.
